Walter Benjamin's view of history has long been fascinating if not confusing to many of his researchers. Adopting a chronological approach, I divide Benjamin's career into three phases: "theological view of history based on Judaism," "theological view of history deepened by cosmology," and "theological view of history juxtaposed with and aided by a materialist-dialectical view of history," thereby arguing that (1) the salvation of history constitutes the focus of Benjamin's view of history; (2) although, starting from the middle part of his career, he increasingly appealed to a materialist-dialectical view of history, yet he kept it simply as a means or approach; and (3) given that the salvation of history as a goal was always theological, it can be posited that Benjamin's view of history was always theological in nature throughout his career.
